Modak - Festival food fits for the Gods

Every year, for as long as i could remember my mother has been making these sweet treats at least once during the 10-day festival. This time though, she hasn't. And since she isn't keeping well, I don't have the heart to ask her to make these for me.

Should I try making them for a change? I am pretty intimidated and think a thousand times before i try my hand at traditional sweets or savouries (my mother and aunts are fabulous cooks and their feats in the kitchen can daunt most decent cooks.)

The recipe on the Tarla Dalal website seems simple and the only times my 'cooking with a book' has never failed is when i have used a recipe that i have found on the pages of a Tarla Dalal cookbook... So should I?

Hi.

I write about the zillion and a quarter things that have me hooked. Among other things you will find books, movies, art, poetry, fashion, food, tv shows, cooking, clothes, shoes, photography, travel, decor, make up, and jewelry here.

I also recommend products, restaurants, films among other things based on my personal experience.

You can read about me here and find labels here, if you are looking for something specific.
